Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1510 Strange Mutation



The dark light covered her entirely before a dark surface began materializing around her. It was surrounding her rapidly as if they were building blocks fitting into a puzzle before they completely enclosed her.

The surface of this abrupt new structure was covered in obscure marks and runes. However, Davis could feel the law of death behind it. Nevertheless, he remained utterly dumbfounded by this sudden change that his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. His sapphire eyes had gone wide in shock as he looked at the strange structure that encased Nadia.

'What the... What under the heavens is this...? A cocoon? An egg?'

If Nadia was an insect, he wouldn't have found this state strange, but she was a wolf, a mammal who would give birth like humans. He wasn't an expert in magical beasts, but surely, the rules of giving birth remained more or less the same.

She wouldn't have laid eggs when birthing, much less transformed into a cocoon when mutating, so it was confusing for him to see her wrapped around by a cocoon or an egg-like structure.

'I think this is merely a shell that makes it comfortable for her to undergo this strange mutation, like metamorphosis?'

He scanned her dark shell with soul sense and found that its hardness reached Peak-Level Emperor Grade.

'Woah, she's definitely being protected by this strange mutation.'

He could still feel the connection with her, but there was no feedback. There was just silence.

'Does this mean that it would take time for her to mutate?'

Davis thought as he contemplated for a while. Nevertheless, seeing that there was no harm that befell her as she didn't cry in pain or have strange reactions before she entered this state, he relaxed. However, there was still a worried expression on his face.

What would this mutation bring about...? He had little to no idea.

Davis shook his head and moved forwards.

He sensed that Nadia's doppelganger had also disappeared, making him wonder if she chose this moment to mutate or not. Nevertheless, he continued heading towards Isabella's location. Once he knocked on the door and waited a few seconds, the door opened, revealing an empire-toppling purple-haired beauty smiling at him.

"Welcome back, dear~"

Isabella's melodious voice fell on his ears while her blinding smile enamored him. He walked in and embraced her, his soul force closing the door while he passionately kissed her. Isabella's eyes went wide, but she then smiled as she shared her lips with him.

"Waa~"

A sound of surprise could be heard before Davis suddenly stopped kissing and saw two women be seated on a table. Both of them were blonde-haired and beautiful with charming purple eyes.

"Sophie... Niera..."

His avatar was actually coordinating with Ancestor Tirea Snow to take care of the defensive measures, so he didn't know what Sophie and Niera were up to. He thought they were secluded in cultivation, but it seems like they were socializing with Isabella.

However, was Niera the type of woman to socialize with others? He didn't think so!

"Sophie, this was your plan, wasn't it?"

Sophie shot her tongue out, instantly revealing that this was her idea.

Davis wryly shook his head.

"Should I have not come here?" Sophie hesitantly asked after seeing his reaction.

"Of course not. I prefer my lovely flowers to be together."

The three of them smilingly looked at each other before they rolled their eyes.

Davis saw their sync and couldn't believe his eyes. Were they already able to see past their differences?

"How long have you two been here?"

"Well, this is our fourth visit to third sister Isabella's place, so..."

Niera wryly smiled as if she had been here for a few hours already.

'Four visits in two weeks? Woah...'

Davis could tell that they were making progress in wanting to maintain an amicable relationship with his other women, which made him feel fortunate.

"Well, I'm glad that you three could understand and accept each other."

Isabella, Sophie, and Niera beamed as they saw him be pleased.

"Oh, that's right. Niera, I'll be bringing back your elder sister along with others a few days before the upcoming marriage."

"Really?"

Niera's expression lit up.

"Yeah, you didn't have much time to bond with her, right...?"

"Umm~"

Niera nodded, "Thank you. My parents are also eager to see her."

Davis shook his head, "However, I will bring them only if this place is safe. For that..."

He turned to look at Isabella.

"Isabella, I've been working with Ancestor Tirea Snow to secure the Grand Alstreim City and other cities. The other cities have mostly been accounted for as we decided to send more than half the experts to protect them while buying lots of formations to defend them. However, as a result, the defenses here have become lacking."

Isabella looked taken aback before she smiled.

"You need our defensive formations?"

"That's right."

Davis nodded before Isabella appeared confused.

"But, setting up something in a wide range isn't easy and requires knowledge. We don't have that- Wait, don't tell me..."

Davis shook his head as he wryly smiled, "I don't have time to grasp knowledge about formations, Isabella. However, Ancestor Tirea Snow said that it is possible for Mival Silverwind to have grasped formations since he lived for a long time. It is possible that he has knowledge over inscriptions as well."

"Mival Silverwind..." Isabella uttered.

She had already heard about him, but still, she smiled at Davis.

"While I was away, you even managed to obtain a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, no, two of them to protect you and the Alstreim Family. I feel extremely proud of you, Davis."

"Thanks." Davis held her hands, "It was kind of easy to recruit them since Mival Silverwind wasn't the type to court death. He is a realist and knows how the world moves, so he rather took a gamble on me, so if I fail, there's quite some chance that he would betray us, so remain with caution. On the other hand, I also think he won't betray us because one of his two wives, Alia Silverwind, has rather taken a liking to me..."

While Davis descended into talking his thoughts out loud, the three ladies' brows twitched before Isabella spoke.

"Wait, if she has taken a liking to you, why are you not dead yet? Surely, Mival Silverwind wouldn't leave you alive after knowing about that..."

Davis paused before he realized that they misunderstood.

"I meant that she looks at me as if she owes me something, like her life."

"Right, you were her benefactor since you saved her life using the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar. I know it because I heard it from Evelynn..."

Davis shrugged, "I'm least bothered about the wives of others. You can all feel free to trust me on that..."

"So the wives of others are a no-no for you, but magical beasts are okay, mhm?"

Isabella knowingly smiled while Davis's expression froze a bit.

'Isabella, you set me up, didn't you!?'

He tried hard not to glance at Sophie and Niera so that they wouldn't notice that he was hiding something before he abruptly recalled. A smirk appeared on his lips before he answered.

"Magical beasts that are married are also a no-no for me."

"Married?"

Isabella tilted her head as she pouted while Sophie and Niera could not understand what kind of conversation this was.

"Well, in my adventure to the Twilight Shade Valley, there was a crow I met who appeared to be civilized, and she was from the Dark Moon Crow Empire to the north where humans rarely go. Do you believe that she became embarrassed when I asked her if she was a virgin? You know, I've always thought that magical beasts don't care about that."

Isabella's two lips parted as she revealed her astonishment.

Magical beasts actually marry!?

It came off as a massive surprise to her because this wasn't the Immortal World where she felt magical beasts had become civilized because of Earth Dragon Immortal's deep knowledge about humans and their cultivation manuals!

As for Sophie, her mouth went agape like Isabella in shock. But on the other hand, Niera had little to no idea because she had not seen the world while being trapped in that lightning space. Almost everything was new to her that she found every day interesting and lively.

"You mean to say that they've got a civilized empire like us and not some unruly gathering of clans?" Isabella asked with curiosity.

"Yes, that's at least what it sounded like." Davis seriously nodded, "Not only that princess crow Nyoran was polite, but we also worked together to hunt down a certain magical beast while I acted like I was at her level..."

Davis sat down on the table of six and started to brag about his adventures while they curiously listened. They were awed, especially Sophie and Niera, who just noticed that his prowess entered the Ninth Stage before Davis asked them to keep it among themselves.

Lastly, he did also explain how he evaded pursuit from ten Blood Pledge Villa's powerhouses by kidnapping their Young Villa Mistress and making it out using his concealment.

"If that kind of tactic works against the wicked path cultivators, then she must've been someone really important than just her status. Thankfully, you're unharmed."

Isabella smiled with relief while Davis nodded.

"Yes..."

He garnered their reactions while he explained.

Isabella didn't seem to bat an eye when he explained about the torture he induced to the Young Blood Demoness, Schleya. On the other hand, Sophie and Niera looked at him weirdly until the moment he said that he didn't do anything to her in the end.

"You two got a problem with the way I handled the situation, Sophie and Niera?"

He looked at them and calmly smiled.
